The Mousetrap

Agatha
Christie’s murder mystery will be gracing the stage of the Grand Rapids Civic
Theatre through Feb. 1. The play follows snowed in, stranded houseguests who
become subject to a classic “whodunit” murder case. This play has the longest
initial run of any play in history, recently surpassing its 25,000^th
performance. Christie’s show follows a tradition of secrecy that involves a
twist ending; something the audience is typically asked not to reveal after
seeing the play. Curtain times are 2 p.m. for matinee and 7:30 p.m. for
evening. Tickets range from $16-$28. For more information, visit www.grct.org.
